Title: A4k IDE Terminator
Post by: pan1k on October 06, 2010, 07:44:00 AM

I am trying to install an A4k IDE Terminator on my Amiga. Does anyone know which pin is #1? It's not marked on the board.

Strange, mine is.
looking at the A4000D mobo from the front (with the output ports facing away from you - printer, video, audio, etc), the IDE and floppy headers are on the right hand side of the board. For both of them Pin 1 is on the top RIGHT.

My motherboard is marked, but my IDE Terminator isn't. I should have made that more clear.

ah, bugger.

Sorry, I misunderstood.

I have an IDE terminator myself for the A4000, but I'm not at home to check it for you.  Can you post a picture of it and where you got it?

Edit:  Mine has a red circuit board and with a bloody big "1" on the end.  :)

Drop them an email.  Check out the "when hell freezes over" thread here.  Their owner and technician were posting in it around an hour ago.

The black 6-pin resistor array on one side is closest to pin 1.  You can see the resistor array on the left of the IDE Terminator in this picture:
